In Summary
He said that they will have day-to-day production which will eliminate the lead time issues that many customers currently face in Tanzania when importing desktop computers.


Dar es Salaam. Nordic Computers Limited has launched its desktop computers assembly plant at Mikocheni in Kinondoni District, Dar es Salaam.
Announcing the launch of the plant, Nordic Marketing manager Clement Mugabo yesterday said the plant has the capacity of assembling between 30 to 50 pieces of computers a day, depending on the orders from customers.
He said that in a month the factory can assemble about 1,200 computer pieces.
Mr Mugabo said this development will redefine the standards for dealing and accessing computers in the country.
He said that they will have day-to-day production which will eliminate the lead time issues that many customers currently face in Tanzania when importing desktop computers.
“Nordic plans to employ at least 10 new workers by the end of this year, bringing to the total number of employees at Nordic Computers to over 20,” he said.
A founding director, Mr Simon Vestergaard, said the vision is set to new standards for warranty service in Tanzania by guaranteeing all customers a five-day repair guarantee.
Mr Vestergaard said that a customer will be given a new computer if the piece he bought earlier is found to be defective.
“We found that there was a gap in the Tanzanian market for this kind of product. We offer same products but of better quality standards as the competing international desktop brands you see in Tanzania but our warranty service and product availability are our key advantages,” he said.
Nordic Computers is a limited liability company doing import and whole sale of computer parts and accessories in Tanzania.
The company was founded in 2009 by a team of Danish partners and a Tanzanian businessman.
